1. Become a student
Every spare moment, I was trying to read and learn new knowledge. On the way to the office, school, gym, I was listening to the radio, trying to remember as much as possible. I also participated in 20 workshops in most years.
My thinking began to change when looked at myself and those around me. I realized I was not satisfied with his position. But how do I have to change? Though still in college, I'm also not sure whether the school is the answer or not, especially when I want to own business.
2. The decision to do something
I abandoned Masters program in Business Administration and started walking free speech. In the first 2 years, I spoke at 500 events, mostly without pay.
When worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, I started to get sick about how to make money. At that time, I lived through a credit card, and then sell the book to take home. I also became adept salesperson when to sell everything in the house.
3. Do everything possible
Initially, I thought that success only comes to those who are older than themselves. But since entering the age of 20, I was not sure about that. Most of my audience has aged more than 2 or 3 times around. I think they know more than me, but I still appear. Most of the lecture lasted 2-3 hours. It is sometimes even more rain or snow.
Once I arrived in New York, after the lecture, I discovered my car had been towed for parking in the wrong location. Then have to pay penalty. So that day, I take 800 USD.
4. Bargain
In addition to the presentation, I was selling books to take home. Often people will slammed the door and such a purchase. But there are times when I can sell 10 books per hour. Sometimes I think, do not know when it ended.
Once, I had 5 the presentation of 4 different themes. I must awake from 4 am to 6 pm the day before the next morning. I had no money or food, but with knowledge. I know most hotels will have appetizers of cold cuts of this event. And that's my meal.
5. Capacity will create confidence
In just one year, from a person or stammering, stuttering, I can tell seamless 20 minutes without notes. As the capacity gradually improved, I also feel more confident. To 2 years, I was able to lecture the day before hundreds of people.
Gradually, my financial situation is better and do not need a credit card anymore. Nevertheless, sometimes I still deferred monthly bills.
6. Find ways to increase income
Because they want to get rid of this situation, I started the business further by opening Dignify Designs. The company grew faster than expected. The idea came up when I do resumes for free for a friend. After being hired, she paid me 25 USD and tell all my friends. So I have customers.
As companies grow, I recruit another dozen people in the first year. We help people write and publish books, open website and take advantage of social media. Since the opening of the company, we have helped thousands of people settle.
7. Solve the dilemma
Sometimes, I wonder that you should develop a business Dignify Designs million, or continue to pursue a career propaganda messages about proper education?
The answer is both. With Dignify Designs, my income increased rapidly. Of course, when successful business, my reputation is higher, people know me more. The speeches, articles and videos I loved more.
8. There will be at Breakthrough
In the course of work, many turning point has occurred to me. Rather than just access to hundreds or thousands of people every month, now I can reach millions. It's like a dream come true, after all the blood, sweat and tears.
9. Money will come if you do it for passion
I realized that if their favorite work, then the money will come to you only. When you get to the heart (rather than the pocketbook) of people, the more successful you will be.
Fortunately, I have the right to work at any time you want. I can sleep all day, or go play all year. When you do something you love, and love what you're doing, you'll feel freer.
10. My biggest secret
Nobody knows where the future will be like. We can only go as far full potential only. However, you will have to have confidence in themselves, the community and everyone again. Everything happens as you want if you believe in it.
How to find answers to your life? I will tell you my biggest secret: Trust is the biggest strength. It sounds simple, but it is true. Once done, you will never be afraid that they are pursuing the impossible anywhere. Because everything will finally finish it.
